Is there any reason a community couldn't create their own 'council' and start to bring back some community spirit. They may not be able to do the big things like fix the pipes and the roads (they could lobby for it though). Some things they could do are ...
If you listen to the interview she has a very wide knowledge on the subject and a nuanced perspective.
In that case capitalism will role on for a long time yet The asteroid belt has millions of times Earth's resources And it's just technological problems to solve to get it
It would be great to learn where this lot came from. They seem to be a rent-a-mob. Aare they the same lot that turned up a Morrinsville before the election - or the ones that did the fart tax stunt. We need to hear a bit more about them and who drives them...
I'm sure that Simon's popular in the Mirror as well so they should be good together.
And where has that shit got the mighty USA but into a proxy civil war in the halls of government. Definitely not a route we can afford to follow. Fortunately I don't think that New Zealander's will appreciate them behaving like that and hopefully they will...
Quite bizarre and Bill has sealed his fate now. There will be a few sharpening their knives, Judith no doubt included. Can't believe the likes of Wagner haven't jumped ship already but I guess without any responsibility she might have a bit more time for ...
He's already had a dig at MMP.
Hosking is not a happy man. Wonderful, riveting viewing!
Gosh the second one sounds like my mother in law. Thankfully her daughter does not think the same.
Having a good day Mr Hooton?
Misses the point by so far. Does he have any idea of what their policies are.........
This is one of the main issues with WFF and Accommodation supplements. Its just another way of keeping the wages down. Do we really think that National would have left them and even strengthened them if there wasn't something in it for their supporters.
A focus on productivity in New Zealand could bring the pay rises that everyone deserves. Instead the National Government has been content to fill the country with immigrants who through their work have covered over the issue that we have around declining ...
Gosh you are all so friendly and welcoming. No wonder a massive 5.9% of the country voted for the Greens, you make everyone who is interested in your ideas feel sooo valued. Lose the cloak of sanctimony and try to win the minds of the people through ...
So what you people on the Standard are saying is that you have a monopoly on righteousness and sanctimony and that you are the only people who are virtuous and good. Interesting how you dismiss 46% of the population as evil, not to mention the 7.5% who ...
You make some very valid points, but you do realise that the vast majority of global climate change is driven by emissions in the United States, China, Europe and India?? I agree that little old New Zealand could do a lot better, but frankly we are pissing...
No, but I think he would make an excellent Minister for Climate Change. Again, not everyone who votes National is a Trump-esque climate change denier. Most of us are actually sensible, hard-working, caring individuals who don't deserve to be tarred with a ...
Hey guys, I'm a National party voter (don't immediately attack me for being an evil selfish racist, I am not), but it might be worth you thinking about this possibility. Plenty of conservative Kiwis actually do care about the environment. We don't buy into...
I think you are a bit out with how many List MP's Labour will get. With 16 as results stand you get down to Kieran McAnulty. Hopefully with specials Angie Warren-Clark will get in with Helen White is next if there is a really strong result there. Steph ...
You can be sure that Winston's first demand will be no Act.
Yip you shouldn't be thinking of what you will be better off under but who the majority will be better off under. I will theoretically be worse off under labour but I'm willing to give up National's bribe next year for a fairer more equitable society.
And one of them keeps going on about 50,000 magically coming out of poverty in April next year. So effectively if Nationals changes are going to do this aren't they in the same breath admitting that they have failed to do anything for 9 years.
What National have forgotten over the last 9 years is that at all times they have held a very small majority and that around 50% of the electorate don't agree with their policies. They still work as though they are under FPP. I guess they only way to ...
Yip and half of the growth has been coming from the earthquake rebuild and increased infrastructure spend. Projections certainly aren't so impressive going forward.
I imagine Simon Bridges favourite place is in front of a mirror!
I have never thought that Bill was the worst of them. We can forgive him for his conservative views as a Catholic farmer from the deep South. He has obviously spent too much time with Key and company where he has come to the decision that lying to the ...
They all look so sad in that picture. More of the same on the weekend please
Yes the Minister for Ethnic Communities is obviously plotting for her eventual assent to the leadership. If they somehow manage to form something with NZF I wouldn't be surprised if there may still be a push from her as no doubt Bill will be too easy on ...
At least they haven't had the balls to try to register as a charity. Unlike the Sensible Sentencing Trust......
Ah the taxpayers union. AKA National Party/ACT Lobby Group for the benefit of the supreme leaders David Farrar and Jordan Williams. My sister in law likes to tell me all about how great it is working for them. After seeing the documents above I know she is...
